When The Biscuit’s Half Empty

My better half's a biscuit
As suitable soundtrack for perusing the site, reading about austerity and such, might I offer a few choice tracks from Birkenhead’s finest, Half Man Half Biscuit, the group touted as “England’s most authentic folk band since the Clash.” A band too smart to be a band, they are oft compared to The Fall, with whom they share longevity, sardonic crypticisms, John Peel’s love, and the curse of Northern Soul. (Encyclopedic knowledge of British telly recommended, though not essential.)
